MCC not keeping with the times

The MCC has too few female members, despite ending its men-only rule ten years ago, writes Emily Dugan in the Independent on Sunday.

In the past 10 years, Lords has received millions of pounds in funding from private investment, as well as £200,000 in direct Lottery grants.

But over that same decade the number of women allowed to join its 18,000 members has increased to just 62, 0.3 per cent of the club's membership.
